Replace hardcoded "example_module" references with [[MODULE_NAME]] placeholders for easier customization. Create comprehensive POST_INIT_CHECKLIST.md and TEMPLATE_GUIDE.md to guide users through the initialization process. Enhance make init output with detailed summary of automated changes and manual updates required. Add placeholder comments in CI workflow and update CHANGELOG.md to document template improvements.

The default entrypoint is `main.py` for applications, but `make init` removes this file for library packages. Tooling metadata (`pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`) defines project dependencies.
